THE MORRIS-DA. Ni I RS.
(The fll>oiTts*H>anccr$.
IE morris-dance was introduced into England from Spain in the sixteenth century, and speedily became popular, so it much so, that it was engrafted on a more ancient pageant, that of the play of Robin Hood, and the characters partook of both. " The morris-dance, in which bells are gingled, " says Dr. Johnson, "or staves or swords clashed, was learned by the Moors, and was probably a kind of Pyerhic or military dance. " " Morisco, " says Blount, # ..."(Span. ) a Moor; also a Dance, so called, wherein there were usually five men, and a boy dressed in a girle's habit, whom they called the Maid Marrion, or perhaps Morian, from the Italian Morione, a headpiece, because her head was wont to be gaily trimmed up. Common people call it a Morris- Dance. " It is supposed that its name, in Spanish Morisco, a Moor, points to its origin ; and it was popular in France as early as the fifteenth century, under the name of Morisque. It was probably intro- duced into this country by dancers both from Spain and France, for in the earlier English allusions to it it is sometimes called the Morisco, and sometimes the Morisce or Morisk.
